Clinical Conditions & Program Offerings

Endocrine Disorders

Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream and control many of the slow and long-term activities in the body, such as growth and regulation of blood levels for many important proteins and essential chemical elements. Endocrine tumors affect hormone-secreting organs including the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands, pituitary gland and pancreas. Endocrine system tumors vary from being benign to highly malignant.
 
Drs. Sardi and Gushchin perform advanced diagnostic and surgical techniques to manage endocrine tumors of the adrenal glands, thyroid, parathyroid and pancreas. Both physicians provide clinical expertise in sophisticated surgical treatments including minimally invasive procedures like radioguided parathyroidectomy for patients with hyperparathyroidism, laparoscopic surgery to remove adrenal tumors, and thyroid surgery. Additionally, the team of cancer specialists including surgical oncologists, endocrinologists, radiologists and pathologists, treats advanced neuro-endocrine tumors with state-of-the-art therapies such as hepatic artery embolization, and radiofrequency ablation.
